I disagree. Why do you think governments have free reign over their ccTLDs? It seems at odds with the usual scenario of multi-stakeholder participatory management of most ccTLDs.

but when goes to the .LA root site

What is a root site?

I'm trying to start with a full accounting of the ccTLD ownership and
accountability. I realize there are many people out there who don't want
to discuss the issue.

I don't think there are many people who wouldn't want the issue discussed. I think, however, such a discussion has to be based on reasonable facts.

Perhaps you can start the discussion by explaining the genesis of your list. In what material way do you think .CA and .NL, to take a couple of examples, belong on such a list? Why do you think the location of a secondary name server is noteworthy? Given it is considered best practice to have geographically diverse authoritative name servers on multiple continents, I'm surprised and would appreciate your insight.
